dc.description.abstract | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the experience of being a peer support worker by drawing reflections from a working day. Design/methodology/approach – This is a reflexive account of a person experience written from the peer support worker’s own perspective. Findings – Reflections focus on the “non-directive” element of peer support and the danger of making assumptions when supporting others and working with staff. Originality/value – While the research evidence for peer support continues to grow, there are few first person accounts of the experience of peer support working. | |
